AIM: JSG

Johnson Service Group PLC

('JSG' or 'the Group')

Pre-close Trading Update

JSG, a leading UK textile rental provider, is pleased to provide a trading update for the six months to 30 June 2019.

Following the update in early May trading has continued to be strong, with encouraging levels of organic growth, and we now expect results for the full financial year to be slightly ahead of current market expectations.

Planned capital investment across the business is continuing in order to increase capacity and productivity for the busy summer months. As mentioned in May, construction of our new Leeds hotel linen site remains on schedule and within budget and is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2020.

Results for the half year are expected to be published in early September.
